Medieval Military Architecture in England edit

Hi! Thanks for your contributions. Just to let you know, we usually don't mark pages as 'proofread' if they have illustrations on them that we haven't included yet. Instead we mark them as 'problematic' and put {{missing image}} on the page to make it obvious what's wrong. If you want, I'll trail behind you on this work and get the images in. Or I can write up a quick guide for how I do it with free software. Thanks again! Prosody (talk) 23:59, 7 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Ah I see. That makes sense. I appreciate the offer of following me through this work, but if I accept you'd probably regret it when I get to the part where there's a plan or diagram every few pages! As you can tell, I'm still learning the ropes, so if you could point me towards some form of how-to that would be handy. Nev1 (talk) 12:07, 8 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Welcome from me too. It isn't an issue at all, we have a system in place that allows us to assist new users, exactly as it does help, and one that we gladly accept. Help:Proofreading is the page on how we work in the Page: namespace. The Help: namespace is where we have a string of pages available.

If you have questions, please feel to take them to WS:S and you will get the first answer from whomever is first available. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:10, 8 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Footnotes are an important one for many of our works, and you can see how we manage them as references at these edits. Which basically pulls them out of the page for the page display, and when we transclude these pages to the main namespace, we add a single <references /> capture at the end of each chapter to collate them. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:23, 8 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
